Re: Track names not being picked up from text file |
Ed - the issue was that the numbering was on non-consecutive lines. The extra inserted lines about Tony Betancourt et al were throwing it off. I fixed that and it worked, though it included the track timing and extra info - not sure if that's what you wanted. I'll let you tidy it up, but I'd recommend using notational symbols (like asterisks) and then putting the notes after the setlist.

Re: Track names not being picked up from text file |
The only thing I can think of is the lines starting with asterisks. Maybe try removing those and just writing DISC 1/DISC 2? Otherwise I can't see what would be tripping it up.

Re: Track names not being picked up from text file |
Those asterisks have been there from the beginning with no problem - that's almost 1000 shows. The only thing that's changed on my end is that I'm using Text Wrangler. Maybe I'll go back to Text Edit the next show.

Re: Track names not being picked up from text file |
Hmph, that's a puzzler. The last thing I can think of is perhaps how TextWrangler is treating carriage returns. Under TextWrangler > Preferences, click "Text Files", and make sure "Line breaks" is set to "Unix (LF)". I've used TextWrangler for nearly as many shows, so if that doesn't fix it, I'm stumped.

Re: Track names not being picked up from text file |
not sure what the issue was but i downloaded the text file and in text wrangler it was set at unix/mac classic. i find that mac classic inserts invisible characters that can lead to incorrect carriage returns. i saved it as unix/unix, uploaded it and repopulated the item's metadata with it. is there still an issue?

Re: Track names not being picked up from text file |
I checked my line breaks, and they were set to Unix (LF), so that wasn't the problem. However, as you say, Jeff, it was a Classic Mac document. Thanks for your efforts both of you; I'm confident that will solve the problem; I won't know for sure until I do another show.

Re: Track names not being picked up from text file |
Thanks greenone. I always remove the times, but that's a lot easier than typing in the names, especially for a one-finger typist like me :)
I'll follow your advice about not clogging up the setlist.
